Editorial Review:
Periwinkle is nervous about going to school and to help him overcome his fears, Blue and Joe transform Blue's house into a pretend kindergarten classroom where the games are all about science, telling time, rhyming, art, creativity, math and more! Play Refrigerator Rhymes in the kitchen, tell time with Tickety, play a math game at the Sand Table with Shovel and Pail, and at Peri's fort - it's Super Science!
Periwinkle is going to start school soon, and the thought is making him quite nervous! Playing kindergarten at home seems just the way to alleviate his anxieties. In Blue's Clues Kindergarten, Blue, Tickety, and Joe do just that, setting up classrooms all over the house.
This game lets young players show Periwinkle the early-education ropes, guiding him through math, science, reading, and time-telling drills in a cheery game environment. Players select rhyming fridge magnets to build language skills, eventually making poems of the words they identify correctly. Counting and adding activities in the sandbox make elementary computation a snap, while a poster of the solar system provides a gateway to fun and interesting facts about all the planets orbiting the sun. Children can adjust the difficulty level of gameplay, adapting each exercise so its degree of challenge is just right. Successful learning is rewarded with printable activity pages, providing opportunities for learning and entertainment away from the computer.
There are only so many ways to bundle up basic education drills, and the core content of Blue's Clues Kindergarten is not radically different from most preschool learning programs. Its tone is bright and friendly, though, making it one of the most genuinely playable games of its type. With appealing characters and well-designed activities, it delivers its educational content gently, mixing it with a solid dose of low-key humor. And for players who need a short break from the learning action, there is a hide-and-seek game. The prospect of tracking down a lurking Joe provides just the right breather for kids before they return to the task of showing Periwinkle what kindergarten is all about. --Alyx Dellamonica
Periwinkle is nervous about going to school. To help him, Blue and Joe turn Blue's house into a make-believe kindergarten with games about science, math, rhyming, art, and more. Choose from five games with Blue, Joe, and friends, while three adjustable levels of difficulty match children's growth. Play Refrigerator Rhymes in Blue's kitchen, tell time with Tickety, learn math at the Sand Table with Shovel and Pail, and--at Peri's fort--there's Super Science. Loads of educational clickables and surprises await in Blue's Kindergarten. Plus, areas for printable activities and for parents let the learning fun continue away from the computer.

Rating:  - Great promise, does not deliver
I bought this after reading these reviews hoping for a fun new game for my 2 year old. He has already mastered the mouse, colors, numbers, alphabet & has several other preschool games.
This game is absolutely dull. The graphics are great, but it only holds his attention for a few minutes. The problem is that each section takes too long to load. Once loaded you have to listen to a VERY long discussion on each area. BORING! He looked at me & asked "play Elmo instead?"

Rating:  - Good, solid choice for kids
We loved Blue's Clues Preschool last year and this is a great step up in subject matter for 4-6 year olds. Great graphics, very reminiscent of the show, my kids love it and it runs great on Mac.
Rating:  - Blue's Clues Kindergarten
My 4 year old son really likes this learning activity and can navigate around in it pretty good by himself. He really likes the science section that tells about the different planets.
Rating:  - Blue's Clues Preschool is Pretty Good
Blue's Clues Preschool is pretty good, but not great. My 3-1/2 year old daughter likes Joe and the animation... but it's a bit of a pig on performance and limited options. She plays this game the least of all.
